Basically, can it just work through cable, or do you need special television equipment? Cheers.

Your best bet, as someone mentioned earlier, is to get DirecTV or Dish Network (which will come with a box). Many cable providers don't offer Fox Soccer Channel. Even if they do, it's probably not going to be enough for you, depending on the club you support. 2-3 Premier League games every weekend (typically Man U, Arsenal, Chelsea or Liverpool) and the post-game coverage and news is lacking. Not to mention they don't give you many Cup games and no UEFA cup or Champions League.
But despite it's short-comings, it's the best option in America unless you have additional money to pay for Setanta Sports or an EPL package on Pay-per-view.
Another option that's much cheaper is to go to a local pub that has subscribed to these satellite packages and shows matches. There are surprisingly quite a few around depending on where you live in America. But, I hope you're ready for the time difference...

Check out http://msn.foxsports.com/soccer/fsctv and click on "How to get FSC" to see if you need a cable/satellite box.
I got Directv, added the Sports Package that includes Fox Soccer Channel and Goltv, and added the Setanta Channel. This gave me 3 channels to watch football.
Some popular matches are available through pay-per-view, then they show the replay for free on FSC about 4 days later like the 2 FA cup round 4 ties - ManU vs Portsmouth and Arsenal vs Bolton Wanderers. You could watch them live on pay-per-view for $15.95 or watch them for free on FSC four days later.

As long as your cable provider offers FOX Soccer Channel you will be fine. We has satelite and get Fox soccer channel and GolTV. They show lots of international games EPL, La Liga mostly but sometimes SouthAmerican, German and Italian.
Welcome to the states and help us increase the popularity of futbol/soccer in the US.

Depends on your cable provider. Most are offering the channel as a regular service. I'd call them or contact Dish Network or Direct TV...

Congrats to Barca and i hope that ref loses his ****** job travelled 600 miles 600! to be conned like that , it's the same storey time and time again , we get the worst ref and officials the world can offer , they can't even do there jobs properly , a blind man could of given them decisions im glad Drogba did what he did with his reaction , shows the passion he has , also Ballack , if Uefa give any action against them , and the ref gets away with it , it'l be a conspiracy theory of Platini , he was wishing Barca would win. not blaming Barca wasn't there fault , good luck to them.

My neighbor has this channel and they don't have any special equipment. I am pretty sure that it just comes with their cable. Their provider is Adelphia-Time Warner.

You should be able to get some rabbit ears from the store. Target, Walmart and maybe Best Buy have them, good luck

Sorry, it's almost a certainty; with just plain Fox Sports it's possible you would have to also have one.
